Harbeth Stands for a newbie...

I just add the Stillpoints between my speakers and PAB stands and I'm just shaking my head.

Quite a few manufacturers appear not to be too fond of the idea, but Stillpoints under speakers do usually deliver a significant SQ improvement.

Oh man. I just can't believe it. The isolation is good stuff :thumbsup:

Paul....
Your 40.1 isolation looks very close to the one I had on mine.
These babies shine only with that kind of isolation. The bass especially becomes as tight as the Wilson one, but goes lower than the Sasha II. At the level of the Alexia. But richer in tones. Much more rich and colorful.
The Alexia sounds much colder and sterile in comparison.
And the treble is also the big winner from the clearer bass.
Congrats !
I haven't seen until now a really good isolation for the 40.1, other than mine. It may be possible that we are the only 2 persons in the world who really heard what the 40.1 can do ! ;)
( PS : I finally sold my 40.1. Too invasive visually in my living room. But I may buy them again one day. They are to me of the very best speakers ever made. With careful isolation. )
 
Thanks Jerome. I was thinking about your set up as well.

Was it the Stillpoints you use as well ?

After listen to them with the still points all day today I totally agree with you. It's completely different animal now. Wow

P.S : I shouldn't leave out the thank you note to the PAB stands with the isolation footers as well [emoji6]

If you go to the HUG forums they're all high on Something Solid (pictured), a spindly looking affair made in the UK. I like Sound Anchors because of their heft, the spikes will pierce carpeting easier and they're generally more stable (resist tipping). Good thing about the 40.1 is the low CofG.

I have tried the Skylans and the steel frame ones (not sure who makes those; I have borrowed them from the Graham dealer) on the Harbeths P3ESR and much preffered the latter.
